Hello gappy177,


We want to help with managing your iMessage management. Let's clarify if you want to delete a message or conversation.


Delete messages on iPhone - Apple Support and use the quoted steps below:

1. Touch and hold a message bubble, then tap More.
2. Select the message bubbles you want to delete, then tap.


Delete a conversation
• In the Messages list, swipe left on the conversation, then tap.


Go ahead and check if you have any iOS updates to complete. If you notice the same issue after trying the steps above and have the latest update, make sure to Contact Apple Support directly.


We hope this helps.
